A good night for me tonight...:D

I don't know how many of you are into astrophotography, but I've been obsessed a long time... Tonight, as you ought to know (if you don't, GO LOOK) is the Perseid meteor shower...
So far I've gotten some very nice metoer pictures, and even a tumbling Iridium satalite. Whoohoo! Before tonight, my total metoer count was 1, and my Iridium count 0... Now thats much higher.:)
Pics will be up tommorrow or so.
Go outside and look! Most of the meteors in my frame have been small to moderate, but at a 90 degree angle to the shot was a VERY bright and long meteor. D'oh! :lol:

This has got to be the stupidest year ever, my first spring/summer with a camera (bought it last Sept.), and the driest year in not-even-recent history here when I was looking forward to getting some storm pictures, and now there's a meteor shower and it's cloudy for the first time in weeks!

There is no emoticon able to satisfactorily convey the emotions coursing through my mind about this.
